that love God" In the course
of his remarks Rev. Mr.. Caswell said
that thcre are various kinds of good,
both spiritual and mental. Our wealth
and position belongs to one kind Of
good, but our inner good is the one
that keeps us morally and peacefully
better.
He spoke of man who was wealthy
and who gave half his fortune to build
up and help Christianity. That same
man lost the balance of his fortune
through business calamity. Now the
man is poor, but for all that, must we
think less OF him? No; for he walks
beside the prophets, who left nothing
behind them but a bright light which
will be handed down to ages to come.
Let us make this distinction then,
that while we may receive these
blessings the text does not
mean for us to keep them.
The soul that loves God receives ev-
erything that it wishes, while the sim
| ner always at war with himself never
has what he wants.
| The savage takes poison and it kills
him, while the physician gives you
poison and it makes you live, for it is
the study of mind that gives us power.
Take the inventor. He lives in differ
ent sphere from us; the hunter and
musician 60 out together on a hunt
and see lark. The hunter exclaims,
"What beautiful shot," while the
musician exclaims, "a voice like an
angel" The one gives his express
sion to his true nature, while the
other gives vent to his finer feelings.
Man may use his education in such a
way that makes a ruin around him
and blights the nature of our young
men.
Affiiction must come tn us all and
we must know how to use it, for it is
then that we need God most. We are
like gold that is put into a crucible,
the gold comes out pure, but fire must
be put under it before it is purified.
To come out pure We must go through
these fiery ordeals.

A Narrow Escape.

A young man, butcher on Ala
media street, took young lady out
riding to Second street park yester-
day. At the park he got out and took
the bridle off the horse, preparatory
to hitching him. In the meantime
the young lady got out of the buggy
and as she did the horse started off on
a run along the edge of the embank-
ment. The lady got out just in time,
for had she remained a few seconds
longer she would have been thrown
from the buggy and seriously injured

were thrown open and the crowd began
to pile in. The bodies rested on stretch

clothing. The visitors were few, but
the number steady grew, and before

men, women and children pouring pass
the stretchers. The crowd outside grew
in numbers also, but it was quiet and
orderly. Occasionally one Of the anX

gazed upon the faces of the dead, but
most of the people passed on silently
after a single glance of these much

INDIAN LIFE.
How He LIVES, Moves and Dies
With His Boots TN.


1t must be said for the red man that
he keeps good hours. Darkness usually
finds him in bed, and daylight, the
pangs of hunger and the swarms OF
buzzing, biting flies may be counted
upon to rouse him at the first blush of
dawn. His toilet is soon performed. In
summer it is limited to a stretch, and a
long drawn chest-satisfying yawn end
ing in querulous demand for break
fast. In winter 1t Is somewhat more
elaborate, but it is even then comprised
in judicious selection of blankets and
robes for the days wear. choosing from
those in which he has passed the night
greater or less quantity. according to
tho inclemency of the weather. The
Indian goes to bed as he dies, with his
boots on. He washes-never. In all
things save eating, horses and the labor
of women, he is scrupulously economi-
cal. He wastes nothing. A few sticks
of wood, and they are always surpris-
ingly small, suffice to keep his lodge toll
erably- warm in the severest weather. If
the nights are cold, and they frequently
are so, the lodge floor at night is a
writhing mass of Indians, great and
small, lying closely together for warmth.
Night has few attractions for those who
believe that it was made to sleep in.
Their savage fancy, therefore, peoples
it with harmful spirits, whose presence
means no good, whose influence is al
ways evil, boding death and misfortune,
Nothing short of the direct necessity
will induce them to move or travel at
night, and no form of amusement can
be conceived or attractive enough to
draw al Indian from the blankets which
ne seeks at close Of day.-New York
